Hi I'm interested. I do twin camera work with my two nikons so the 
full frame aspect is good but can you dissolve fade and can you put 
in a kodak ektagraphic like connection so that my AVL computer can 
control it. I do prgrammed stuff. I currently use four projectors 
AF2's and do a lot dissolve fading. What advantage would i have by 
using your projector over my ektagraphics. Andrew Peters If theres 
is a significant advantage the reserve one for me.
